Off work for labor day - can't believe its already September.  AM longish run at recovery pace.  Ran the Walking Dead season (movie rentals) back to the movie store and ran easy pace for about 2hrs.  16mi. Long Run - 2:11:20. Decent weather. about 75 degrees, and still a little humid.

easy 10 miles recovery pace in the evening after kid in bed - felt great throughout the first part of the run.  not so much in the last half.  legs are lingering right on the edge fresh and sore.

Double Day:

Part 1 - 7AM: WU 2mi. over to fairgrounds, 8mi. MP - 51:40 (6:27.5/mi. avg.), around fairgrounds for several loops and then back overto neighborhood for last half.  CD jog.  The weather this morning was pretty good - about 65 degrees and foggy with lower humidity.  Hoping for this kind of weather or better here in 25 days.  I felt much better at this pace than I ahve have been, thankfully.  10.3 mi. total - 1:09:59

Part 2 - 8PM

WU w/ 3 mi. cutting down, into Threshold Reps - about 10k effort - 5x0.75 mi. @10k w/ 0.25 rec. jog - about 6:00/mi. pace avg. - 4:27, 4:22, 4:22, 4:19, 4:21.  I really wanted this workout to be about 4hrs after the AM workout, but, as usual, that pesky job thing that I have to do got in the way. 8mi. total - 55:48

AM1: Tiff to the doctor this morning.  Me and the kid at the house for a couple hours.  I decided to take the plunge and finally take our little bubble boy out in the jogging stroller.  Thankfully, he did great nad actually loved it.  No problem.  Daddy struggled with this new added weight to push.  Tough to hang on to 8:00 pace with all the neighborhood turns and the non-swivel front wheel.  2.55- 22:16

AM2: mommy home and daddy out for the recovery run during nap time.  started getting hot, so this turned into a little more than I wanted out of the recovery that this was supposed to be - 11mi. - 90 minutes.  Hopped on the scale after post run meal this morning and discovered that I am lighter than I have ever been.

23 mile Long Run with 15mi. AT - 1:40:52 (6:42.8/mi. avg.) Decent weather - overcast and about 75 with a breeze.  Still a bit warm and humid. Practiced with the GU gels today - yum :(.  Aerobically good, but still running on some tired and sore legs.
